On the second day after submission, "decision in process" appeared. May I ask if anyone has experienced a similar situation before? Does it mean rejection...?

Hello, I would like to ask what are the reasons for withdrawal? I am planning to submit to this journal, but I am unsure about the speed of the review process. Can experienced individuals who have submitted before please share their experiences?

On December 10, 2021, the manuscript was transferred from Applied Catalysis B to Transfer. On December 13, it was under review, but after waiting for 3 months without any results, an email was sent on March 13, 2022, to inquire about the status. The response mentioned that the three invited reviewers did not reply. The wait continued, but the attitude of the response was good. Unexpectedly, on March 15, the reviewer's comments were directly received, indicating that on March 14, alternative reviewers were urgently sought for the evaluation. Then, there were 2 weeks for revisions. On April 2, the revised manuscript was submitted back, and on April 1, a minor issue was raised, although it was already addressed in the text, the reviewers did not notice it. On April 3, it was advised to make the revisions in future revisions. Finally, on April 8, the acceptance was received. The delay of three months may have been caused by the overseas pandemic situation. Overall, the attitude of the editorial office was good, and the speed on the editor's side was quite fast. Therefore, if the waiting time is too long, it is advisable to inquire via email, as it should help to resolve the issue quickly.

Why has this journal been constantly dropping? I don't recommend submitting to it. Now SCI is all in the 2nd tier.

Is there a difference between justification and cover letter?

Hello, is there any difference between "justification of publication" and "cover letter"?

Received in less than three months, the editing process was very fast. Two reviewers suggested major revisions. I delayed the submission by half a month due to the winter vacation. After supplementing with additional experiments during the second round of review, it was directly accepted. It feels important to meet the journal's positioning.

You are very fast!

Excuse me, has the original poster already been accepted? I have been waiting for two months since I submitted my application. It went under review on the first day, but I haven't received the first-round feedback yet. The timeline has changed once in between, and I am still waiting. I noticed that comments usually receive first-round feedback in about 20 days. I don't know why mine is taking so long.

Just to add, it was submitted on 11.26, sent for review on 12.06, updated for review on 12.21, received feedback on 1.21, made minor revisions on 1.28. There were a total of 11 comments from the two reviewers, all of which were minor and did not require much attention (asking for a certain parameter value, suggesting additional method information, supporting information for a specific figure, questioning if a certain number was written incorrectly by the author (which it indeed was)). All comments were well addressed. It was re-submitted on 2.6 and accepted on 2.28. Overall, it was a normal pace, not fast, as there was a wait during a foreign holiday. It is clear that both the editor and reviewers only started working on it close to the deadline. The quality of the article was clearly high, but unfortunately, it was rejected by the editor in the first round of submissions to the prestigious journal. Having a background is really important. What a pity...
